Anyone think that in this HUGE story of a failed bombing on Christmas week and the best MSNBC can do 'clip shows'? What is crazy Larry and Robin both in the tub with Keith? What Howie Dean can't come in? Tony Wiener can't fill in for a day? Anyone? Buller? Bulller? Buller?

Olbermann must be ripping himself. This plane story just had to break during the holiday week. Any other non-holiday week and this is minimum three extra days in the tub.

syvyn11 I think MSNBC has given up. I realize it was Christmas and a skeleton crew is obvious, but FNC and CNN went to town on the plane coverage Friday and "The Place for Politics" did next to jack shit. If it wasn't the first time it would be embarrassing but at this point it's business as usual.

Oh I miss our dear Olbermann....Especially now because I really want to know his response to the Gallup poll on who Americans admire most.....

"...Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and former Alaska governor Sarah Palin are virtually tied as the most-admired woman.

"The close finish by Clinton, named by 16% in the open-ended survey, and Palin, named by 15%, reflects the nation's partisan divide. Clinton was cited by nearly 3 in 10 Democrats but only 6% of Republicans, Palin by a third of Republicans but less than 1% of Democrats."

And you know that as the sun will rise tomorrow and the sun will set, these bastards will rejoice at his condition, and God forbid, if its fatal. And you know you can see it now, Olbs will say in his "oh so serious" tone, with hard stares and furrowed brow ready to go, that he'd never want any of the MANY people he trashes to die, but that Rush was still this and Rush was still that... Saying without saying, I'm glad he's sick, and I hope he dies.

Now I hate Olbs, seriously. Obviously we don't know each other all that well, but I honestly reserve that word for the most appropriate. In my personal life, there's no one I hate. I mean hate speaks volumes. I won't get into my own personal definition of it and what it takes for me to feel it, but suffice it to say, I feel it toward this faux journalist piece of shit and CANNOT WAIT TILL HE GETS HIS.

Now the tinhats will take that as hoping he dies. I can't say I hate him that much. But when he said he's surprised he's never gotten a brick to the head, suffice THAT to say, so am I pencil dick, so am I.

I wonder how much airtime this will get on the hour of irrelevance....

Judge dismisses Blackwater case

A federal judge, sharply criticizing Justice Department prosecutors, dismissed all criminal charges on Thursday against five former Blackwater guards accused of manslaughter in connection with an alleged massacre that left at least 14 Iraqis dead in Baghdad in 2007. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1209/31091.html
